Despite securing a massive midfield signing in Manuel Ugarte, Manchester United are still scouting Europe for more reinforcements.
United spent all summer focussed on Ugarte, being their priority signing to partner Kobbie Mainoo in the centre of the pitch.
The Uruguayan midfielder has now had his first full outing with The Red Devils, featuring in United’s 7-0 win over Barnsley in the Carabao Cup this week.
However, United are now looking back to Europe to sign another midfielder, with Newcastle United also looking at one of their targets.
TNT Sport Brazil has now reported that the Premier League clubs are looking at Atalanta’s star Ederson.
The Red Devils have been linked with Ederson this summer as a potential option, however it now appears that they are continuing their pursuit of the Brazilian star.
At the end of the summer transfer window, Manchester United submitted a €50 million bid for Ederson, which was rejected with the Serie A side unable to find a replacement in time.
However, the two English clubs are also up against Juventus and Barcelona in scouting the Brazilian.
It’s previously been reported that Ederson is “curious” about the Premier League, which could give United the edge, however they’ll still need to fight off Newcastle to secure the star.
